| Abstract | This study examined the specific nature of the relationship between involvement in various risk-taking behaviors and levels of gang involvement. Forty-nine high school students, 24 girls and 25 boys, ages 14 to 18, from a rural Texas community, completed a gang involvement questionnaire and the Risk Inventory and Perception Scale during individual interviews. They were rated as high, medium, and low for gang involvement. Four patterns of involvement in risk-taking behaviors were identified based on levels of gang involvement: (1) students who were both moderate and high for gang involvement reported more involvement in risk-taking behavior than those who were low for gang involvement; (2) moderately gang involved adolescents reported significantly different levels of involvement in risk-taking behaviors than adolescents who were either uninvolved or highly involved; (3) highly gang involved adolescents reported more involvement than both uninvolved and moderately involved adolescents; and (4) there were no differences between levels of gang involvement for some risk-taking behaviors (e.g. breaking curfew). These results suggest that the identification of gang involved adolescents and the development of intervention programs would benefit from a more complete understanding of the behavioral concomitants of gang involvement.
